Zara should be dead. So I'm not sure what there is to settle, or does the game screw up and wait for dead civs to still make their moves?
Anyhow, I hate, hate, hated that stupid civ I was forced to play, but it's alright. I'm happy to give up room for barbs to at least do something worth while. I'd rather save my effort for the REAL game. Why can't we just let that stupid Zara R.I.P. ?
